Bumble

Bumble is a dating and social networking app that differentiates itself by requiring women to message first in heterosexual matches, creating a safer, more empowering experience. Founded by Whitney Wolfe Herd (a Tinder co-founder), Bumble has expanded beyond dating into friendship (BFF mode) and professional networking (Bizz mode). Bumble went public in February 2021 at a $8.2B valuation — making Whitney Wolfe Herd the youngest female founder to take a company public.
